Temporary

The life of this world is a journeyEphemeral joy, transient pleasureMomentary sorrow, nothing lasts foreverPain and suffering shall all come to an endO the one plunged deep into the ocean of sinRise to the surface, come out of darknessAscend the ladder to Heaven, light up your heartRepent with sincerity for your transgressionsYearn for forgiveness; for your Lord loves to forgive.

“…Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.”

(Subhan’Allah the reference of this verse is so easy to remember “2:222”, don’t you think? Let’s make a mental note of it. We need it.)

***

“Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

“Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children – like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allah and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.“
